It‘s an activity outside the home which is "rare" says Goodale and "it‘s something that brightens their day," and provides some physioâ€" Connie Cousins, residential supervisor at Community Living Oakville, says Arts Link is an opportunity for residents to inteâ€" grate into the community with a setâ€" ting that allows them to work at their own pace because they don‘t have the same "readiness skills" that would be expected in a ‘reguâ€" lar‘ craft class. It‘s also an opportuâ€" nity to "increase the comfort level of some community people." Bill Goodale, Director of Christian Horizons group home, says the social component is vital and "it allows them to be creative at their own level which is something that‘s very important to them." "I think this is marvelous. The studio is not used every minute and it really should be used," says Likas. Likas and Miller, as well as the volunteers, hope the program resumes in the fall. If it weren‘t for the oppressive heat in the building throughout the summer they would love to offer a summer program as well, says Likas. "We should be doing this kind of work, working with people with special needs," says OAS president Micheline Likas. "It‘s pure pleaâ€" sure. It‘s an up trip." Giroux talks enthusiastically about one of her students from the nonâ€"ambulatory group who couldn‘t even hold a pencil at the start of the session and yet at the end of the four weeks, could draw a line the entire length of the paper. Artist Mae Giroux brims with excitement as she awaits the arrival of her mentally handicapped continâ€" gent, who she introduces to black and white and then, complementary colors. She sets pots, kettles and vases on a black and white checkâ€" ered tablecloth and asks participants to sketch the ‘round‘ lines of each. "They developed whatever they wanted to. I showed them the techâ€" niques. Everything is handâ€"buildâ€" ing," says Maude, displaying the resulting yetâ€"toâ€"beâ€"fired vases, candy dishes and candleholders. She found her Down‘s Syndrome students "very focused, capable of working with their hands" and "they enjoyed the clay immensely." Arts Link, an eightâ€"week pilot project involving four clients from Community Living Oakville and four from Christian Horizons, was launched. The program is divided into potâ€" tery and sketching classes and recently found itself a sponsor â€" at least for the pilot project â€" in the Oakville Rotary Club with the extra materials used being donated by the OAS. Not only does it provide pleasure for the participants but for the volâ€" unteers say the people who donate their time to wheel students into the building, assist the hands of the quadriplegics, and guide the efforts of the Down‘s Syndrome students. "It‘s an opportunity to share what skills I have and the joy I have with clay with people who normally would not get the chance," says potâ€" tery instructor, Darcy Maude. Maude says she approached the project with an open mind and molded her classes to the needs and capabilities of her students. Arts Link teachers and students share their love of the creative process (Cont‘d from page 12) therapy, he adds.
